PSU/Pitt/CMU Conference
The Department hosted its annual PSU/Pitt/CMU Conference with the Finance Faculty and Ph.D. students from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh on March 29-30, 2024. The conference rotates between campuses and is in its seventh year. In addition to the research presentations by faculty members, the conference featured a session for Ph.D. students to present their own research. This session is often the first time that a student has presented to an audience outside their university. This year’s conference also featured a presentation by Rene Stulz, the Everett Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics at Ohio State University and the former editor of the Journal of Finance and former co-editor of the Journal of Financial Economics. The 2025 conference is scheduled for March 28-29 at the University of Pittsburgh.
